How to see javadoc in Quick Outline [message #259113]

When I code, Content Assist handily shows me what methods are in a class.
Specifically, if I type "Foo.", after the "." an outline window pops up
with methods in Foo. I can scroll through this window. If a method has
javadoc, the javadoc will show up on the right. This is very convenient;
I like seeing javadoc as I browse through the methods.

I can't figure out how to get to this javadoc-enabled Outline view any
other way. If I go "Control o" I get an outline view, but no javadoc on
the right.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Dani. I'm a bit confused about your Comment 1 on the bug --
Comment 1 sounds like you don't think this bug is worth it? I think this
would be extremely useful so I hope someone works on it.

Looks like you hope for too much given that no one was interested to
provide a patch for more than 4 years ;-)
